DAYLIGHT SAVING.

WHAT THE DOCTORS THINK.

GENERAL VIEW T 0 BE OBTAINED.

That daylight saving was calculated to do no harm and might be productive of much go°d, was the opinion- of doctors attending the Medical Conference at Hamilton last week. The question came up before the associa,tion, but the council withheld any official expression of opinion on the subject until reports, had been obtained from the 13 different divisions throughout the Dominion. The subject will be re-opened at a meeting of the council to be held in June.

The need for goo'd rest in view of the longer play was emphasised by one doctor. The farmer, he said, was the only one who had and right to say anything against the measure. If he could l adapt himself to the measure everything would be-all right.

Another doctor thought it was only a question of time and adaptation. The question had arisen of senlding young ■’ h'ildren to bed before it was properly dark. This, however, was frequently done in the South where there was a long twilight.
